    Asked question hoping someone else could answer what happened or that you could tell us the picture is deceiving. Over adjustment does not wear out just one shoe. No one would want to see that repeated.

    The spring is melted, kind of happens when all hell breaks loose. :) shoes were not hanging. This was after it cooled, dont mind all the extinguisher dust. Should of seen me I was all yellow.

    In this case it did, I dont know if it was just a grip from the pad or what, but it wore one down that heated the other shoe, this was pretty much the consensus of the road call boys and what we seen.

    At least you didn't end up like this. Came across this while out beating around the backroads on a day off a couple summers ago. Truck was fine. Guy got it unhooked before it really went up.

    @Fajo Did they at least warranty the burnt brake? 3k miles is practically brand new.

    Unknown, that tailer is brand new. I'm the one that towed it out of utility, im guessing the company will end up sending them the bill. The trailer is hitting utility As soon as im unloaded, company wants it to have a once over they dont like surprises. One thing I love here is they are very very anal about their maintenance.
